I’ve never understood this – the words/name clearly refer to a plurality despite not having an “s” on the end. If there were multiple deer/moose running around, you wouldn’t use the singular version of “is”.

Countercounterpoint. People aren’t going to fly into Colorado to get stoned all day and look at snow. I envision people setting up the place like a local winery tour. Sample different strains while having food and accommodations friendly to the tourist. Colorado can really do this up right with some entrepreneurship thinking. That is why weed is legal. Boost the economy.

February 21st, 2013 at 8:37 AM
Exactly right. If Colorado can treat their weed like California does their wine, it will be an economic boom. They just need to make sure to keep it…almost high brow. Sure, there are going to be shops that just sell weed and have the Dead on a loop, but CO has a chance to set the standard. Good for them.

February 21st, 2013 at 8:44 AM
My buddy lives out in Denver and he was high all of the time when it was illegal. He’s about to go ham I’m sure. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he and another guy get into the weed business (one of them has been in it since college pretty heavily). I just don’t think I could deal with the stress of knowing the Feds could break down the door at any time. Obama has proved to be a fraud re: weed for the most part, and who knows what the next president will do.
February 21st, 2013 at 8:45 AM
freal? have you ever smoked pot before?
Yes. I was high last night watching the KU game. And I live in Kansas. I’m not spending several hundred dollars to go to Colorado to get high and stare at the snow. Give me a nice vacation wrapped around the idea of weed being legal. I’m not 18 and getting high and going, “oooh, look at the clouds.”
February 21st, 2013 at 8:46 AM
Don’t know how Raylan controlled himself
February 21st, 2013 at 8:46 AM
probably fall into the perfect situation as more and more states legalize it, making it impossible to federally prosecute, and won’t have the societal pressure to keep it illegal all while getting to say he’s cutting govt spending in this arena while increasing revenue (even as slight as it’d be).

I went to Amsterdam 4 times to get high and wander the town. I’d do likewise in CO, but since they have skiing I’d definitely package my weed trip around skiing though. That’s like two of the best things in one place.

Fuck yeah.
To be honest, I used to go skiing about three times a year in Colorado. You could pretty much walk downtown Breckenridge with a joint and nobody would pay you any mind. Even the Texas megachurch ski tours would understand the rules are different in Colorado. This was 10 – 15 years ago.
February 21st, 2013 at 8:53 AM
exactly. people are already going to Colorado to do stuff like ski, mtn. bike, hike and stuff like that. it’s no coincidence that a lot of the people that enjoy doing these activities also enjoy smoking some chron. and while you can’t wander the streets, see cool historical stuff and maybe bang a hooker like you can in A’Dam, you also don’t have to worry about getting offered coke and heroin on every corner by some shady looking individual, or possibly getting hit by a wayward bicycle either.
February 21st, 2013 at 8:55 AM
Breckenridge had basically legalized it the last time I was there (3 years maybe).

February 21st, 2013 at 9:07 AM
I think it was a example of great movie making, though.
Yes it was a tremendous achievement b/c Bigelow and Boal had fleshed out the screenplay before they got UBL and then just updated it once UBL was killed. The way they dealt with and show the enhanced interrogations was well done – probably the strongest area of the film IMO. Chastain calling out her section chief in that hallway was so good.

“Paterno truthers” are harassing Sara Ganim.
Here’s my issue with the media: you can’t express the opinion that Joe Paterno wasn’t an evil monster and was treated unfairly by the Freeh report without being accused of being a “truther” and a kid fucker that thinks the man walked on water.
I know that there are nutbags out there, but this issue is portrayed in a very black and white manner.

This is the disconnect the PSU sycophants have with the rest of the country. You can do one terrible thing and it can override all of the good you’ve done. That’s a sad reality. And when that one terrible thing involves enabling a CHILD RAPIST to keep geting his rape on, that’s a big fucking deal. Does that make Paterno evil? I’m not sure that’s the word I would use, but it at least makes him a dickface.

February 21st, 2013 at 9:30 AM

I know all dogs CAN be bred to be aggressive, but the Pit Bull was designed to be for it’s duties in England. There’s a reason dog fighters pick that breed. They have inherent traits that lend themselves to whooping ass.
February 21st, 2013 at 9:32 AM
no doubt…esp with dobermans that can easily be 80+ pounds of fierce-looking pooch.

February 21st, 2013 at 9:33 AM
I’m guessing you are more likely to avoid severe injury from a yorkie attack than a pit bull attack. Which is kind of the point. I don’t think anyone is arguing that all pit bulls are aggressive, just that the one that are aggressive are more of a danger to your health than most other breeds.
February 21st, 2013 at 9:34 AM
gotta do that with all dogs.
my dog is a pit mix. was attacked by a basset hound on a walk one day. the hound came charging out of the house as we walked by, my dog turned tail and ran, got cornered and probably would have been seriously hurt if we didn’t catch up.
also, a majority of fights i see at the dog park aren’t even pit bulls, they are dogs that haven’t been spayed or neutered or dogs with serious territorial possessive issues all breeds have.

February 21st, 2013 at 9:34 AM
most terriers are aggressive as shit (the wheaten seems to be an outlier)…but it’s a whole lot easier to keep a westie at bay than 50-90 pounds of muscle bred with a DO NOT QUIT UNTIL YOUR DEAD mentality.
but pitbulls, when trained properly with love and care, can be just as good of a dog as any other.

With dogs, a single bad individual can really make a difference in how you view the breed.
Nobody has ever seen a Bedlington Terrier, but there supposed to be the worst dogs in the world. Vicious towards everybody, including their owners. But they look so fucking stupid in dog shows that nobody puts them on the shit list on sight.
Everybody has met a horrifying pit bull, though. But that doesn’t make pit bulls horrifying. But it does mean that reticent people, people with children, and lots of others prefer to keep their distance from pit bulls, even the nice ones.
They aren’t dogs that unsettle me immediately, because I’ve met way, way too many dumbass friendly pit bulls. But, if one was walking down the street off a leash, and I was with my kids outside, I would freak the fuck out.
But I’d be more unsettled by a loose German Shepherd (or the like) or a loose Akita.

i was about 5, and our cat was sitting on the windowsill sleeping. Pit comes off the street, busts through the window and grabs the cat, takes her out to the street and halfs it.
also, a buddy of mine had a pit that would get into our golf bags get a golf ball, and crush it into powder in front of us and walk away.
yeah, all dogs do this.

i was run down and bitten in the side by an aggresive dog growing up.
I grew up absolutely terrified of dogs. Absolutely terrified. We always got chased walking home from school by a couple of territorial dogs.
When I was maybe 9, my uncle got a bloodhound. I got drafted to show everybody what a good people finder he was. Basically, it was hide and seek with the dog, behind our church, over the canal.
I ran and hid, because I was too much of a pussy to tell them how scared I was. So I was basically running for my life, because here came a BLOODhound to get me. Then, my fat ass tripped and fell and tore my hand open, and I was bleeding. And here came that bloodhound. I knew for sure I was going to get chomped.
Anyway, that ended up with me screaming and screaming for help, and the dog terrorizing me by trying to be a dog. And people realizing how I was a pussy.

He loves just chasing a ball and chewing on his toys and eating string cheese. He’s St. Louis’ Lil Sebastian.

put on the new roof, putting in central air this year, next year updating the countertops and kitchen floor, should come out ahead if/when we sell in 5-7 years. in the first phase of landscaping and removing all the old/dead/overgrown plants the last owner thought were nice but made the property look like shit.

The worst. Grandmother puts celery in potato salad and chicken casseroles. There is absolutely no need for that terrible crunchy texture that adds no flavor to something beautiful

Portmanteau, that’s a good word and a big word from somebody from Ohio. Obviously, my pea-sized Sooner brain had to look that one up. And you’re right spencer, it is pretty non-ironic. By the way, one of my friends originally from Boston lives in H-town and his wife wants him to relocate and follow her to Cleveland; he is inconsolable at the thought of living in Cleveland. There are worse places than Oklahoma City and Tulsa. But at least there’s Kyrie Irving and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (Rush finally made it in, so it can’t be that bad) and doesn’t a NFL team still play in Cleveland or have they been relegated?

Our wedding was right at $5000. No need for a huge affair.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:05 AM
unfortunately, this is true.
i picked out the photographer at my wedding, he was expensive, but it’s the one tangible memory we will have for years of the day where tens of thousands of dollars were spent to get other people drunk for free.

I would say unless you can make 2 mort payments, don’t buy a house you arent okay with living in for a long long time. You never know what life’s gonna throw at you.

I told my daughter I’d write her a check for $10K if she eloped when the time comes for her to get married. My wife cracked me in the knee with a wine bottle. I’m screwed.

water chestnuts
strain and soak them in some soy sauce for a few hours. then wrap with a half-slice of bacon (cut lengthwise). lightly brown the bacon-wraps in a skillet, then transfer to a baking dish and coat them with a heavy dark browns bbq sauce – low-cook at 250 for 40 minutes or so.

My friend is asking the closest of his relative to give cash as gift. Too bad he can’t do this with all the other guests because of tackiness. If you think about it, cash is the best gift of all. I’d rather have $150 than a fucking toaster.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:09 AM
Yikes.
Just found out my first-born plans to get married Labor Day weekend. She wants a small wedding, but it’s still gonna cost. I’d be relieved to finish under $10K.

I like this logic and wish I had subscribed to it when I bought our most recent house in 08.
Home ownership is way over-rated.
Painting, caulking, roof repair, property taxes, dumb ass neighbors that let their dogs bark all day, …

And watch out, when Urbie Meyer gets his recruits into Buckeye U. And they get off probation, watch out. Rose Bowls every year or national championship beatdowns. Which, yes, as a Sooner fan I can empathize with the other OSU. I actually The OSU to Xerox T-Boone Pickens I’m a man, I beat my kids U.

our photographer gave us back our proofs; then the guy went AWOL. Never heard back. So we have a small album of wedding photos and I saved thousands. awesome.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:12 AM
My wife and I told her parents we were happy to have a small wedding, but they told us this was like a big party for them so they spent at least $15K. Maybe closer to $20K.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:14 AM
Meant to say prefer the OSU. The thread has drifted away from sports as it always does. No more portmanteaus, although maybe some port wine. Goodbye for now.

property tax credit and interest paid tax credit make this all worthwhile though.
i may be paying more every month for a mortgage, but i’m getting back more every year at tax time.

By the way, KC Resident, are you Mike in Wichita from the Jim Rome show? Did you move to KC, Missouri or Kansas? He had the same chortle-inducing one-liners; he apparently thinks tornadoes only occur in Oklahoma and not in Kansas OU Guy
I’m sorry missed this. I was cooking and eating breakfast during this Killstorm.
1. You are Jim Rome listener? You are awful.
2. Who is the hell thinks tornadoes don’t hit Kansas? That is stupid. My hometown was wiped off the map by a tornado.
3. Lived in on both sides of the state line.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:19 AM
agreed that the rest of the state is a toxic waste dump.
when OKC and Tulsa are the chunk of corn on top of a stinky pile of poo, that ain’t saying much

Going to Vegas in May for bachelor’s party. So tempted to extend the vacation for a week and visit Hawaii. Too expensive though.

Serio Chistoso is an awesome addition to this board. Der
I can’t disagree. I know he is going after me (for some reason, I forget. I was probably bashing the shithole of Oklahoma.) But tension is fun on the interwebs. Sadly, TBL will ban him. I hope he doesn’t. This is the first Oklahoma person on this site. It can be educational.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:24 AM
Thank you, Der Kaiser. I can tell you come from good Teutonic stock, I accept you! Milk Shake, I admit, your joke went over my head like Kaepernick’s last pass did to Crabtree. I’m sure this is an inside joke that is orgasmically funny to insiders.

February 21st, 2013 at 10:27 AM
yeah, that will really pay off down the road.
i’m just glad we bought at the perfect time, there’s a lot of construction and home sales in my neighborhood, so if we do sell in 5-7 years, we should do well.

KC Resident, I don’t miss the weather up there. At least hurricanes on the Gulf Coast give you days of warning as they approach. I used to listen to Rome a lot when was on 610AM from 11-2 in Houston. After Travis Rodgers left, the show went into the tank and became boring like a stale cracker covered with Jayhawk gizz but I always remembered the anti-Oklahoma rants of one Mike in Wichita- a mattress salesman. Just saying that you remind me of him, that’s all.

I won’t make any jokes about AIDS and 49ers. There’s no connection between the two. Digging for gold is serious business and should not be taken too lightly. But seriously, it may have been defensive holding but even Santonio wouldn’t have caught that pass.

I think, sportsgal, you have seen too many bannings in your commenting life. Otherwise, you would not make light of being put into the Internet purgatory. It is a dark, soul-less place, like Hot Springs.

If Oklahoma City and Tulsa are chunks of corn on top of poo, then what does that make Little Rock? But, I’ll concede Lawton is a shit-hole in which I was unfortunate to live for several of my formative years. It’s even worse then Fort Smith, and that’s saying something.

one we move the laundry room to the basement, we can tear that whole part of the house off and start over. But before we do that, we need to recoup some $$$ we spent on that emergency kitchen job.

oh, you will never hear me defend L.R. or Jort Smith, but I also won’t use them as the model cities in my state. shit, oklahoma can have fort smith for all I care, that place is a dump as well.
say what you want about Hot Springs, they have Oaklawn, which makes it more redeeming than anywhere in oklahoma.

1: paper copies of each of the 42 TBL posts that JayV has called ‘bottom 5 in this site’s history’
2: a picture of sportsgal’s head photoshopped onto a nude female figure
3: a picture of Butters that you’re sure is his reflection in a funhouse mirror, but it’s not
4: a description of the “changes” you’ll go through in JMac’s eyes the first time you criticize him for something egregiously lousy
5: an incomplete list of inside jokes, all of which are several years old, and none of which are funny, except /coop’d.
6: a synopsis on the which barbecue is best argument, so you can just join in where everybody else is.
7: The Grody Man’s guide to finding flaws with supermodels features, and how to credibly seem like you wouldn’t cut off your dick and mail it to one, just so you could say she’d seen it.
8: An empty bourbon bottle, but an empty expensive bourbon bottle

I love Oaklawn and the Arkansas Derby is the most underrated horse race in the country. Fun times and Arkansawyer womenfolk are hot to trot. But you’re painting with way too broad a brush about the perceived lack of natural and man-made attractions in Oklahoma. It’s weird because Eastern Oklahoma is as biodiverse as Western Arkansas. Now, Western Oklahoma is dry and desolate like West Texas. But even Western OK has Black Mesa, Little Sahara, the Quartz Mountains, the Wichita Mountains. And last time I checked, Oklahoma City or Tulsa has way more sports and cultural attractions than does any city in Arkansas. Are you going to defend Bentonville, too?
February 21st, 2013 at 11:24 AM
Though the attacks on Ganim are childish the issue they are going after her about was something she tweeted about after THON! raised over $12 million dollars this past weekend. She was complaining that we don’t know where the money is actually is going and went after Penn State for not opening its books to show where the money is going.
All she had to do was a quick google search to find a report that the THON committee puts out every year detailing where the money goes. 96% of the money raised goes to the Four Diamonds charity while the remaining goes to upkeep for the event. It was just poor journalism on her part to attack the event and Penn State without actually doing the research before hand.

No, KC Resident, we’d probably meet each other, flip each other off, totally disgrace our home states and universities, maybe even punch each other a couple of times. No spectacles, watches or hand jewelry and no punches to the groinal area but then we’d have a few beers and find common enemies and forget our mutual animus. Memes, you’re the man now, dog! (God, that’s played out, I’m old)
February 21st, 2013 at 11:40 AM
Someone has to defend a state which I do sincerely feel gets a bad rap because of some unfortunate testicle grabbers and too many SEC-caliber football fans. But, we’re a state that has embraced Nick Collison and produced the likes of the Flaming Lips, Olivia Munn, BiBi Jones, Jesse Jane, Carrie Underwood and Ashlynn Brooke so I would assert were not half-bad and probably okay if not above average. I can think of 20 states off the top of my head that are more rednecky and backwards and in which I would not want to reside. Kansas is not on my shit list.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:47 AM
And think of the diaspora of Okies who made significant cultural contributions to California after the Dust Bowl Sacramento Kings country…see the irony, Seattle, and now the brain drain flows south as we Okies take over Texas along with Mexico. Mexahoma, sorry Texas. And we’re a friendly people with passionate fanbases. Excuse me. My chihuahua just threw up on me. I wish I were joking.
February 21st, 2013 at 12:06 PM
so, other than Underwood, who I will give you, you listed a man-face and a bunch of chicks who obviously will do about anything to get out of the state. I’m confused about the point you’re trying to make.
February 21st, 2013 at 12:08 PM
and i don’t get the Flaming Lips love, but Mole does
February 21st, 2013 at 12:18 PM
Well, Jesse Jane still lives in Oklahoma. I’m confused on the man-faced one. But I think these fine young starlets would be wearing white pearl necklaces whether or not they were from Oklahoma. I think there’s a lot of women and men who leave for Hollywood with dreams of stardom and end up doing porn. Doesn’t matter where they’re from.
February 21st, 2013 at 12:27 PM
The point I’m trying to make there are Oklahoma products worth the price of admission. One doesn’t leave Oklahoma or Arkansas because they suck or because the people suck. They leave for better job opportunities, more cultural amenities, better weather. California is a cesspool that attracts people because of weather and plate tectonics.
But I’m sure we’ve never known any major figure to leave Arkansas for greener pastures. Where do the Clintons live? Exactly.
